Trying to Get Pregnant

WTO Friday!

Re: WTO Friday!

  • @Dilynne I'm really sorry for what you are going through with your DH.  We all get that the "forced" TTC sex isn't always fun, but I don't think it's right for him to say those hurtful things to you.  And I don't think being upset is unreasonable or dramatic.  You two should be a team on this and it's not up to one person to "figure it out."  I really hope that when you've both had some time away from the argument that you're able to talk through it without anyone's feelings getting hurt.  Huge hugs to you, girl!!

    WAYDTGKU: PNV, tracking cm, temping, vitex, RRL tea and HIO once i start seeing a shift to some fertile cm

    R/R/CS: So happy it's friday!!! Looking forward to this weekend. Not for any reason in particular, but DH has been working some really late hours and last night he actually got home before 8:00! We had a really great relaxing evening out by the pool grilling hot dogs, so maybe I'm just hoping for some more of that this weekend :smile:

    This is the boring part of the cycle. I'm pretty sure i'm still at least a week away from ovulating. *yawn* *twiddling thumbs* I hate wishing the days away but i'd like to fast forward please. Just a little bit.

    GTKY: Who is your biggest hero and why? I'm not sure I have a hero. but i admire the heck out of one of my aunts. She has adopted three special needs kids, devoted her life to mainstreaming them through school and making sure they get jobs, and now just got her Doctorate in special education. I'm blown away by the determination of that lady and am so proud of her.

  • @juliebeannn Fx all goes well with your Dad!!
  • Month/Cycle: 17/13? or 10/10 actively trying

    CD: 11

    WAYDTGKU: OPKs, sex when possible, charting, temping, checking cm/cervix, PNVs, CoQ10, acupuncture, whatever I'm forgetting. 

    R/R/CS: My husband has to leave, again, on a work trip Monday morning. And then he'll be gone till late Thursday night. So basically my body has till Tuesday or so to make ovulation happen or it'll have to wait till next weekend to O if we're going to have a shot as decent timing. I'm barely having any EWCM at all, my advance OPK is still low and I just today started getting the pre-O migraines that typically start several days before O. So I'm not feeling overly optimistic that my body is on board with our plan for this month. But, I mean, it's okay. As most of you know, thanks to my endless complaining about everything, I'd considered TTA this month to simplify things for my upcoming RE appointment. So I can't really be too upset if our timing doesn't work out this month. My husband and I agreed that we'll try to have sex every day this weekend so we're at least making the most of the time we have and after that we'll just go with whatever happens. There isn't anything else we can do. And I guess if I still haven't ovulated by the time he's home from his trip we'll go back to trying to have sex when possible. But I'm not nearly as stressed out over timing this month as I have been most months, so that's good.

    Also, on an unrelated note, I started this "bikini body" workout thing and ugh. It looked so easy in the YouTube videos! I'm really just that out of shape I guess because my arms and legs are just done, so so done, after week 1.

  • @Dilynne i'm so so sorry your DH is being so difficult.  it's one thing to feel pressure to perform but to say hurtful things and be insulting is not right.  i hope you guys can work things out soon!!!

    Thanks for the positive thoughts everyone! My dad is out of surgery and it breathing on his own right away, so no need for a stop in ICU.  He's in recovery now and will be moved to a room shortly.

    @hezzer78 you may have to let me in on that schedule that still feels free and spontaneous! That’s DH only complain ever, is that he doesn’t want to schedule sex. Boys. Enjoy your time with your bff! That watermelon festival sounds amazing (and delicious)

    @swimsister I am right there with you in cycle 3. We had perfect timing last month and it didn’t happen. So of course I’m like wtf went wrong, but at the same time feel like I really shouldn’t be complaining at all yet. It’s still so early. We can try and keep each other sane through this next cycle

    @mandybeeslp The AF/not AF is so annoying. But you know, maybe this will just be a really light AF for you? That might be nice! I’ve always spotted a little bit before my period. I haven’t had it 3 days before, but I have had it 2 days before. Hopefully it doesn’t indicate anything is wrong.

    @daisy621 Happy early birthday to dd! I remember trying to sneak into chuck e cheese in high school because it was so fun but they required you to have a child with you if you weren’t accompanied by an adult lol. Have fun!

    @travelingcouple BD sex is so different than fun sex. It sucks that it gets to be a chore. Hang in there! And FX for O soon for you! I also love that your sister is your hero. That’s such a great bond to have.

    @dilynne I am so so sorry you’re going through this with your H. I feel like H isn’t being very considerate by not working with you to make the changes that he’s looking for. That can be a very sensitive subject and it needs to be discussed under cool heads with each other’s feelings in mind. I’m thinking of you. I really hope you’re able to work things out.

    @kirstinh88 I know the feeling of not really having anyone who truly understands mc. My mom actually had three before they had a successful pregnancy. She kind of gets it, but she also had to sort of shut down her emotions on it in order to cope. So she isn’t the most sensitive person to talk with about it. I'm glad you have that with your friend!

    @jnalexander2 I’m glad you and DH came to an agreement on TTC. I would highly recommend temping. Just as a way to really confirm you’ve ovulated when you think you did. It’s not going to tell you when to HIO if that’s what he’s worried about. But I’m glad you’re getting support! And your grandmother sounds like an amazing woman!

  • Thanks @KirstinH88 I'm doing ok most of the time. Every once in a while a coworker (any one of the three that had/are having babies in the last 7 months) will say something baby related that just gets me and i have a good cry in my office. There is definitely something about having someone that has actually been through it that really helps. That's why i love this community so much :smile:

  • @MrsJennaSheppard03 I am so jealous you were in Rome!! DH and I went there last September and looooved it. Fingers crossed everything normalizes for you soon.

    @KirstinH88 hahaha! It feels a little ridiculous that I spent so much of my life trying NOT to get pregnant just to find out it’s actually kinda hard….

    @Kiki75 totally thought I’d be a unicorn, but I was also kind of panicked that I’d be a unicorn. So maybe it’s all about balance. BTW - That video of the cycler is so cool!  

    @jatwal128 From the comments I’m getting it seems like cycle 3 might be where the rubber hits the road. After cycle 1 it’s like “well no one gets it on the first try, we’ll get it right next time”, and when that doesn’t happen it opens your eyes to what a process this could actually be. 

  • @swimsister Right! **TW previous pregnancy** The thing that really irritates me is that I got pregnant with DS so easy. Like first month easy. I was that special snowflake. Since I had him, I was on the IUD and we worked for years to get our finances at a better point in time to have another child. Now we are ready and.....nothing! I never imagined it would take this long. But at least each month that goes by, we are able to get into even better financial shape, so I guess that's a positive.

  • To everyone who commented: Thanks for your input! I'm wondering if it's the sunburn. I have drank several times this cycle already (hangs head low) without it affecting my temp, so I don't know why last night would be any different. I guess I'll still pee on OPKs just in case it hasn't happened I hope it hasn't!
